Or if you don't feel like installing top then run prstat which comes 
with the system.  It will show you the the processes sorted by cpu time 
so the ones you want to examine are the ones at the top of the list.

Useful tip: prstat -t can be useful on systems shared by more than one 
user, it shows the number of processes, process size/rss, % of memory, % 
of cpu, total cpu time for each user.
